The
most famous of all the "heroic bloodshed" films. The plot deals with a
hitman, Jeff (Chow Yun Fat) who accidentally blinds a nightclub singer
during a particularly nasty gun battle and then he becomes obsessed with
helping her raise the money for an eye operation. In the meantime, he
is doggedly pursued by a cop (Danny Lee) who's trying to make a name for
himself. This is the limited edition, widescreen print, transferred from
the original negative, with English commentary by director John Woo. -
